I am very unimpressed with Everyman Driver, who is often weirdly contrarian in ways which betray a significant degree of ignorance and laziness.

For example, when I was shopping for cars, I did a lot of investigation of the 2014 Mazda 3. And in the process found that Everyman Driver was a very extreme outlier in its review. It was the *only* critic in the entire industry who didn’t like the 2014 Mazda 3. While everyone else was fawning over the driving dynamics, looks, and quality of the car, he seemed to ignore all of this. And his MPG results are far off of what others have been reporting: mostly because he wasn’t driving a broken-in car and seems to have not realized that.

I’ve got no problem with contrarian reviews: they’re quite helpful in general. But I do not like contrarian reviews which are clearly contrarian due to the ignorance of the reviewer.
